In any normal administration, this would be a huge scandal for the White House and the president and First Lady. But not in this administration. It’s probably not in the top 10 even for this weekend.
Someone is flying around City Hall tail whipping in a little buggy to Olivia Dean’s ‘Man I Need’. Philadelphia is the best city in the world and you can’t convince me otherwise
This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital.
The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message:
“RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”
House Republicans’ new legislation on Congressional stock trading falls far short of what the American people want and deserve. The House must move forward on our bipartisan consensus bill, the Restore Trust in Congress Act.
My full statement with @Rep_Magaziner and @RepAOC:
Today my boss asked me if we're "ready for AI this year".
I said absolutely. I told him we've been running "machine learning models" on our data infrastructure for the past 18 months and we're seeing "significant optimization gains."
He asked for specifics. I said, "Our email filtering system uses neural networks to detect phishing attempts with 97% accuracy."
He looked impressed.
Here's the truth: that's just the default spam filter in Office 365. Microsoft built it. We didn't do anything.
But I rebranded it as "AI-powered threat detection" in a slide deck last year, and now everyone thinks we're innovators.
My boss wants to announce our "AI initiatives" in the next shareholder meeting. I told him I'd prepare a presentation.
I'm going to take every automated process we already have—backup scripts, user provisioning, patch management—and add the words "AI-enhanced" in front of them.
Innovation isn't about building new things.
It's about renaming old things with better buzzwords.
